My 10-kilometer Race
Like numerous young men, I also love sports very much. However, I am a little distinctive among them because I choose running as my favorite sport. For the energetic and passionate guys, running seems boring and tedious. But I am really fond of the feelings when I am running. To challenge myself, I participate in the Singapore Passion Run.
With the help of my alarm, I pushed myself out of bed. It was 5:30 already! Then we run onto the bus after a quick breakfast. Here we were! There must be more than 1000 runner there. Wearing in red, each of us seemed so excited and energetic. 20 minutes were left. We were busy doing warm-up exercise. Then the loudspeaker said, “Everybody ready? Let’s see your smile and enjoy the running. Start! ” Numerous people poured out of the station. We run along the east coast and enjoy the beautiful scenery all along the road. For the first five kilometers, it was really easy and pleasant. With a partner, I keep a slow and relaxing pace. And we even told jokes to each other and laughed. However, as the running proceeded, I gradually found that my friend was running out. To keep him motivated, I slowed down and kept him accompany. I also tried to encourage him with words. However, it did not work. After almost six kilometers, we were almost walking. Then he told me in pity, “Hey, brother, carry on with your running. I need a rest. ” Having nothing to do, I speeded up and carried on. As time passed, I felt heavier and heavier. The last two kilometers were the most difficult. At that time, my ankle ached and I nearly gave up. But when I saw the people along the road cheering, I felt refreshed and determined to complete the distance. Finally, I passed the finishing line. At that moment, I was filled with pride. To cheer for each other, we sprayed water happily.
A 10-kilometer race is really a challenge for each of us. However, I make it with my determination and enthusiasm for running. I will keep running because I like the feeling when I am running.
